Stepan Grigoryan, Chairman of the Board of the Analytical Center for Globalization and Regional Cooperation, believes that the construction of the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway will not influence on the necessity of constructing the Armenia-Iran railway. It is important for Armenia. “When there is no political will, it is very dangerous, when there is no desire for independence. We have given the railway monopoly to Russia, and Russia does not need to build the Armenia-Iran railway. They will not go against themselves.”
According to the speaker, Iran once again officially announced that it is ready to provide Armenia with gas at a lower price. In contrast, our government has no response.
